14. Mandrill and Tong Yan
Mandrill's voice was very calm, but Tong Yan could hear a hint of joy.
This joy couldn't make Tong Yan happy. Tong Yan hugged Mand tightly. She was a little excited, which caused her behavior to be very different from usual. She said in Mand's ear: "Teacher, I actually..."
At this moment, she wanted to tell Mandrill that she was actually An Chun, but Mandrill carefully put her down at this moment. Although Mandrill was not very tall, he was taller than Tong Yan.
When crying, girls will inevitably look weaker and smaller than usual, so the height difference is obvious. The childlike face raised her eyes to look at the indulgence shown when Mandrill looked at her, and she stopped what she was saying.
"Teacher, will you fall in love with me?"
This question was very direct. Mandrill looked at Tong Yan and smiled. The smile was very awkward, but very nice.
"I have no idea."
This is Mandrill's true thoughts. He really doesn't know. Even his love for An Chun is just an afterthought.
But by then it was too late.
Maybe one day in the future, Mandrill will fall in love with Tong Yan, but definitely not now.
"Then can I still like the teacher?"
Like this kind of emotion is very subtle. After you say it, you will be full of expectations. When your expectations are disappointed, optimistic people will be fearless.
As for negative people, they will quietly quit.
Tong Yan is an optimistic person, so she asked this question.
No one stipulates that you can't continue to like the other person after your confession is rejected.
I like you. These words are just telling you my true inner thoughts. I have told you, and of course you can refuse.
Rejection does not mean that the relationship between us must end.
I will like you more openly and do what I think I can do. That thing will not affect your life, but it will affect your judgment.
"Can."
To be honest, this is what An Chun taught him. Killing and fighting are Mandrill's strengths, so most of the time he uses fighting as a tool to speak. Those who are weaker than him will be killed by him, and those who are weaker than him will be killed by him.
Strong people have appeared, but most of them are dead. Only he is still alive and the same as before.
This resulted in the mandrill being taciturn and unwilling to talk.
Faced with the departure of his old friend, Mandrill could only become even more reticent.
Because the person who allowed him to speak a lot and express his truest thoughts has left.
There is no other option but silence.
So An Chun taught Mandrill the simplest way to convey your meaning even if you don't want to communicate with the other party.
That's the point.
Be straightforward and the other party will understand it immediately and won’t get it wrong.
After all, language is essentially used to convey information.
It will naturally be more convenient to convey one's own ideas, which is suitable for Mandrill.
"I will definitely make the teacher like me."
This word is very interesting. When used as a noun, it has many meanings, but when used as a verb, no matter which meaning it means, it will be related to at least two people or things.
This is the charm of words.
When speaking, different charms can be displayed depending on the person and tone of voice. Even the same sentence may convey completely different meanings to different people.
Because articulation is also very knowledgeable.
Tong Yan specially emphasized the tone, so this sentence became very interesting.
Whether it is a noun or a verb, or both, there is only one meaning she wants to convey.
That is to make Mandrill like her. As for whether it is a noun or a verb, that is something that comes after liking.
"come on."
The conversation between the two seems a bit strange to outsiders, but that's how it is sometimes.
Sometimes the person who is trapped does not know it, and others can see it clearly, but when it falls on him, he may be trapped deeper than Mandrill and Tong Yan.
Until you can't extricate yourself by your own will, you will completely fall and become a slave.
Tong Yan might, but Mandrill certainly wouldn't.
"Ok?"
The sudden question broke the gradually quiet atmosphere. Tong Yan rubbed her eyes with her hands. After confirming that all the negative emotions such as boredom and unwillingness in her heart had dissipated, she nodded and said softly: "Teacher, I'm fine."
!”
"continue."
"Gift…"
"Climb up and I'll give it to you."
"If you lie to me, I will bite you to death!"
As she spoke, Tong Yan held her two little paws and bared her two little tiger teeth at the mandrill. Even if she was crying, it did not affect Tong Yan's cuteness at the moment. The tear stains only added a bit of pity to her.
beautiful.
"I am an immortal, and immortals are always upright when doing things."
"I don't know what other immortals are like."
"But I've only done this kind of thing once in three thousand years."
After saying this, the mandrill flew away in the wind, leaving only a faint chuckle swirling among the waterfalls, which was then covered up by the sound of water.
"I'll give you half an hour."
"No waiting until the expiration date."
The wind carried Tong Yan and landed on the bulge. Tong Yan picked up the stone and curled her lips. She shouted dissatisfied: "Ah——"
"why is it like this!"
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and she will try her best to get Mandrill's gift.
"What kind of treasure will the teacher's gift be?"
The childish face smiled, geared up, and started climbing.
Half an hour later.
Tong Yan finally climbed up in a daze.
She lay motionless on the very clean stones washed by the water. At this moment, her face was dull, the brilliance in her eyes disappeared, and her eyes were dim.
Her chest rose and fell violently, and her heavy breathing could be heard all the time.
Her slightly dry and white lips trembled, and she said slowly in a small voice: "Teacher..."
"sorry…"
"I...let...you...disappoint..."
Mandrill looked at Tong Yan's extremely disappointed look and shook his head.
After seeing her very candid outfit, she even sighed.
The light flickered, and an exquisitely wrapped gift box appeared in Mandrill's hand.
He said calmly: "I thought I would give you a gift whether I finished it on time or not."
Tong Yan could understand the following words without any explanation. She jumped up and quickly arranged her clothes with her little hands, even buttoning the buttons that she couldn't fasten before.
Don't ask why you couldn't buckle it before, because I just went hiking with Tong Yan
Mandrill looked at the child's face, the expression on his face was self-evident.
Tong Yan quickly argued: "Teacher, this is because I sweat too much while climbing mountains, so I have shrunk."
"If you don't believe it, just touch it and see."
As she spoke, Tong Yan took a step forward and then straightened up towards the mandrill.
Tong Yan didn't say anything when she saw Mandrill. She chuckled, her hands hanging by her sides, and she twisted slightly,
"Teacher, are you..."
Tong Yan blinked at Mandrill.
Only now did Mandrill discover that speaking like this to a human woman would not only soften people's hearts, it would also have an effect even on immortals.
"Take it."
After receiving the gift, Tong Yan couldn't wait to open it, but she forced herself to hold back her inner desire, looked around, and quickly found a clean place.
He ran over holding the gift box.
In the distance, a child's face is holding an exquisite fiery red butterfly brooch and jumping up and down with joy, just like an innocent and romantic child.
"Teacher, I really like you the most!"
Looking at the excited child's face, Mandrill thought in his heart: "How can an ordinary thing be so charming after being called a gift?"
Tong Yan pinned the brooch and circled it happily around the mandrill.
"Teacher, do you look good?"
"nice."
